Just like that, Father’s Day is already next weekend! To make sure you’re ready to go with a gift he’ll love, I’ve compiled a list of 24 unique ideas all across the board. From the king of the grill to the music addict and everything in between, there’s something on this list for every kind of dad.
- The Grilling Book, $45: A no-brainer for the grillmaster dad, especially during these quarantine backyard party times!
- Decanter, $40: You can never go wrong with a whiskey decanter that makes your dad or husband feel like he’s in Mad Men.
- Whiskey Wedge, $20: Y’all know I love a bundle gift, so why not throw in this whiskey ice wedge and tumbler kit in with the decanter? You could also add in old fashioned ingredients to make it a fun little cocktail in a box.
- Breakfast Sandwich Maker, $20: Combining fun gadgets with breakfast food? Every dad will love.
- Adidas Slides, $31.50: Summer is here, so update your pops’ sandal game for the pool or backyard with these trendy yet low key sandals.
- AirPods, $169: If the important dude in your life doesn’t have AirPods already, trust me, he wants them! He’ll probably never pull the trigger for himself, so hook him up and he’ll be the happiest camper.
- AirPod Case, $35: Another cute bundle gift, throw this case in with the AirPods for an easy lil package.
- Cooler Bag, $25: Speaking of happy campers and backyard hangouts, update your man (or old man)’s raggedy cooler with this insulated bag that could also double as a lunchbox if we ever go back to the office lol.
- Woods Candle, $36: I just love myself a manly candle, don’t @ me about gender stereotypes. Once at a farmer’s market, I smelled a firewood candle for approximately 7 min until Will had to drag me away. I reckon this one smells pretty similar!
- Tile Mate, $15: We all have that dad in our lives who loses anything and everything. Hook him up with a Tile for his keys, phone, you name it!
- Butane Lighter, $16: Another bundle gift you could add in with grill supplies such as the book above or the BBQ caddy below, this butane lighter is legit. If grilling ain’t his thing, grab this similarly badass rechargeable lighter to pair with his manly candle!
- Map Coaster Set, $65: Now dad can celebrate hometowns or favorite corners of the country when the clock strikes happy hour with these marble coasters. Thoughtful AND useful!
- PopSocket Grip, $10 & Mount, $12: I’ve gifted my dad several of these throughout the years (whenever one breaks or he loses it, I replace it 😂), and he absolutely loves how helpful they are for mounting his phone in the car, or propping it up watch a video.
- Herringbone Record Player, $70: If you have any hipster dads on your shopping list that hasn’t made moves on a record player yet (or if it’s your actual dad and he hasn’t had one since before you were born lolol), grab him this unique herringbone patterned Crosley and a few of his favorite recent albums on vinyl.
- Cheese Platter, $58: Forget the gold and marble cheese platters that most women fill their homes with (guilty). This man-approved cheese platter will bring all his boys to the yard for poker night – or like, whatever it is dads do for fun.
- Custom Guitar Pick, $30: The acoustic guitar will forever remind me of my own dad, strumming certain songs that will always remind me of him (one of which being Neil Young’s Harvest Moon, which we danced to at my wedding! 😭). This gift will not only pluck on his guitar strings, but his heart strings as well.
- Beer Tasting Set, $72: If you have a beer nerd like my husband, dad, brother-in-law, the list goes on – this gift will be a huge hit.
- Patagonia Hat, $35: My dad is a huuuuge hat guy, but his collection could use a little update. Love the color and the updated trucker style of this classic Patagonia one!
- Skincare Set, $35: I feel like I say this in every single men’s gift guide, but dudes usually either don’t know how to take care of their skin, or they just don’t care. Either way, every man probably needs this!
- Custom Dog Socks, $26: Whether it’s man’s best friend, his kid, or his grandbaby, these custom socks are such a fun gift that will ensure a smile.
- BBQ Caddy, $30: Okay, how cute and practical does this look?! Yet another great item to bundle with the grilling items above!
- Swim Trunks, $55: It’s probably been decades since your dad has updated his swim trunks, which makes them the ideal gift. I love this print, but these also come in lots of classic solids!
- Keepsake Journal, $9: I added this to my Mother’s Day gift guide as well, and I just think it’s the sweetest thing ever.
- HBO Max Subscription, $15/month: If your dad or husband is a big TV guy, give the gift of either 6 months or a year of HBO Max! He probably wants it but can’t justify the (very dumb, IMO) price, so I’m sure he’d love to have it gifted.
Bonus: Donate to the BLM movement on his behalf!
Hope this helps y’all find something special for the favorite fathers in your life! With everything going on in the world, we still gotta take a few minutes to show how much we value them. And if times are tight, remember a FaceTime call is always free! 😊
Happy Father’s Day!
